You might want to re-read the judgment on that case. It wasn't that he wasn't allowed to grow his own wheat to feed the chickens and livestock. He filed a specific acreage to sow wheat on and actually sowed double that. Had he filed the proper acreage, they wouldn't have ruled against him. Now, I don't know what the rules are regarding the taxation of a particular crop on a farm, but I would imagine that he filed a lower number to avoid being taxed. I also wonder if he had enough chickens and livestock to justify that large an excess of wheat.

Before you start calling someone a Nimrod, what do you know about Autism? It is a spectrum disorder. High functioning autistics are quite capable of learning right from wrong. I would imaging that is true across most of the spectrum with only the low functioning not being able to determine right from wrong. People like YOU are one of the key reasons that this society is headed down the toilet. Now before you get all enraged, let me qualify that statement. By just labeling people autistic, ADD, ADHD, you give people a license to act the fool and take no responsibility for anything. People these days are too quick to give in and say that someone can't be held accountable because they have X disorder, when all they usually need is discipline and structure.

I purchase my music from amazon.com/mp3 (their 32 bit deb package will run on 10.04 x64 with some work). I buy my directly on my nook. I buy DVD movies. So, while I can't speak for everyone else here, I answered your question. No, not EVERY slashdotter pirates all their content. By the way you got modded though, it sure seems like a lot do.
